Plaintiff did not meet her burden of showing that special circumstances, including the unavailability of the information from other sources, warrant the nonparty disclosure ( see, Matter of Validation Review Assocs., 237 A.D.2d 614). Accordingly, it was an appropriate exercise of discretion to have quashed the subpoena ( see, Mestel Co. v. Smythe Masterson Judd, 215 A.D.2d 329).
